Most Satisfying - The Handmaid’s Tale - Smart Power

You’re weak, and God wouldn’t let you pass on that weakness. You could never father a child because you’re not worthy.

every-fucking-single conservative woman ever these days

Serena Joy is also an allegory of the right-wing/conservative anti-feminist woman’s tendency to take the freedoms and rights that their feminist foremothers fought and died for, for granted. 

She took for granted:

Her freedom to get an education and later become an author

Her ability to take on a leadership role in a movement 

The concept of equal partnership with her husband

Having original ideas for a movement and being credited with them

She thought the idea of “the good old days” sounded good in theory but she failed to realize in practice she’d lose everything that makes her Serena.

The Handmaid’s Tale 2x02, Unwomen

Reminder that this was the **hottest** sex scene of the show (maybe of any show, if I can be so bold). All of June’s emotions erupt out of her in this moment as she takes control over Nick (who’s simply lovin’ in).

“You never asked for a piece of my heart, but I gave it to you for free Then questioned why the only one who got hurt was me. I stuffed it in your pocket the first time you passed me by - Forcing you into a position for which you did not apply. But never had I ever seen a smile as special as yours And so I conflated halfhearted waves into something so much more, And finally you’ve come back to return your unwanted token; I dismantle my heart for pretty strangers then wonder why it’s so broken.”

-c.r.w.

what is the greatest lesson you have learned this pandemic?

How I took social contact for granted.

And how books and their characters can fill that void a little (:
